Took my friends here for the first time, one of my favorite spots. They said they didn’t feel like they were in Tuscaloosa and the vibes were amazing. The drinks are so creative and the food is even better. Our server Bella was amazing. Go try out SoCal! Great food, great place, great staff. Love this place so much !!

One of the best new spots in Tuscaloosa. Definitely worth trying for tacos and fresh made guacamole.

We had a 6:30 reservation for four and were seated fairly quickly but were given a high, small, bar type table with four stools. I told the hostess that would not work for us (there was almost no table top space and we were literally sitting with bulky coats in our laps). She was sweet and told us to order drinks and appetizers and she would move us to a table with seat backs when one came available. Our waiter was nice and fairly attentive. He came to take our order for entrees and I checked to see if we should order there or if needed to move. The hostess said the manager told her we could not move because they were too crowded. We weren’t thrilled, but made the best of it by pulling another stool over and piling our coats on it. It would have been nice if she or the manager had come by to let us know and offer to do something with our coats. The food was good-very fresh and a nice take on tacos. Tacos come a la carte. Our queso, guacamole and chips were very good. Great drinks. We ordered a dessert to split, but they were out of the single dessert on the menu. Great atmosphere. Energetic and full but not so loud that you can’t hear one another. Glad to have them in town. Will definitely go back, but will request a regular dining table the next time we make a reservation.
